Kings cash game

[acc2020]

I'm in a unfamiliar casino , no familiar faces. My desired 50p/£1 table is full but there is a seat on the £1/£2 table which i sit down at , buying in for £160.1 guy has approx £500 4 guys £200+  2 guys just over £100.

After 20 mins it goes.

Seat 3 raise to £16
seat 4 call
me in seat 7 re raise to £50 with  , i do this to prevent any other flat callers and to get it heads up.
All fold to seat 3 who flat calls
seat 4 passes.
Flop is 
seat 3 bets £70 ,action on me.

Seat 3 in the 20 minutes ive been sat has been involved in all pots bar one.He's also the guy with £500+.
In all honesty i didn't have a clue what he had in his hand but i decide to shove what i had left which was £94.

He duly calls the extra £24.

Cards come

Expecting him to table Ace picture or ace something , my kings took the pot , he showed pocket 9's saying he hoped i would pass on the flop.

I think my pre flop play was Ok but what about my post flop play? I was fortunate he didn't have the ace this particular time .

Given that i had put a third of my money in preflop is the shove of £94 with an ace there Ok as an all in preflop would have yielded the same result.

If i did decide a fold , would that be ok too?

With your reads that he's playing every pot and and is very aggro, when you have less than pot behind you shouldn't ever be folding here imo.

Really shouldnt be sitting in a 200nl game with 160. Just sit with the full 200 atleast.

You're raise pre is fine but if anyone is paying any attention they should know you're pot committed.

Good call on flop. Think about it this way, if villain had A10/AJ (or a set) and he's been superactive in a lot of hands, is he really betting an ace into the preflop aggressor?

Most people and esp. this type of villain will check to the aggressor expecting them to cbet and then check raise allin given stacks.

So given that, he bet into you instead, gives you more reason to shove as it is a "I dont want you to call so I'm betting big into you before you shove" type bet more often than "Yea you 3bet pre and are expected to cbet but I have an ace and I dont want you to continue so Ill bet now" type of bet.

So yeah your shove is ok almost mandatory. Fold is not ok given villain description. If a super tight nit bets into you then you have to think and might still have to shove as you are committed.

Good call but yeah not a fan of sitting less than full buyin.

I think you took the best line here

I dont think given your stack that he would take this line with AJ very often on the flop

I'd also echo the sentiments about your buy-in.  80xBBs is a horrible stack size, and doesn't allow you to correctly size your bets through the streets. 

You raised to £50 pre-flop, so there's about £100 in the middle and you have about that back.  Can you see how this makes things more immediately difficult for yourself?  I'd prefer to sit with at least 100xBBs, if not more if possible.
